A new Inbetweeners movie is reportedly on the horizon – with all four core members of the cast set to return.
The show became an instant classic when it aired for three seasons between 2008 and 2010, with two film spinoffs made as well.
While there have been whispers in the past about a reboot, The Sun has now claimed that the four main actors, namely Simon Bird, Joe Thomas, James Buckley and Blake Harrison have all signed on the dotted line to star in a third movie for Netflix.
However, the newspaper also said that streaming bosses aren’t satisfied with just the main men returning – they also want to see Emily Atack, 36, reprise her role as Charlotte ‘Big Jugs’ Hinchcliffe.
The move comes as a surprise after Emily was axed from the Inbetweeners reunion five years ago following a ‘past fling’ with James.
A source told the publication: ‘The creators of the show have written the script and are ready to roll – but Emily is one of the missing pieces in the project they’re keen to get in place.
‘Fans will already be delighted that the four main leads are returning as there was concern that a reboot might see new, younger actors cast in the roles of the lads, who were all supposed to be teenagers in the show.

‘But it’s fair to say getting Emily back would be the cherry on the Inbetweeners cake.’
The Sun added that all four of the main actors were ‘thrilled’ to be asked back, but noted that things would be a bit harder for Emily to commit to a reboot movie considering everything she’s got going on at the moment.
In 2019, Emily was reportedly axed from the Inbetweeners reunion after James told producers ‘it’s her or me’ following a past fling they had when they were both single.
Reports suggested at the time that James was afraid his wife, Clair Meek, would find out about the brief relationship they had during their days in the show during 2008 to 2010.
As well as starring in Disney series Rivals, Emily is in the process of making a new programme for the BBC called Reputation.
She’s also waiting to find out whether or not ITV will commission a second series of Nobody’s Fool – the game show she hosts with Rivals castmate Danny Dyer.
If filming on the Inbetweeners kicks off soon, the results could air as early as 2027, the source added.
Emily has been asked about a potential Inbetweeners return on numerous occasions in the past, telling Capital FM recently: ‘I don’t know. We’d all be quite a lot older now.
‘What was quite funny was when we filmed the series I was only 17, I’d just left school, but the boys were well into… I think they were in their late twenties, early thirties.’
It comes after last month bride-to-be Emily joked that she’d had ‘enough rosé to last a lifetime’ as she posed in a bikini and a veil in fun-filled snaps from her Cannes hen weekend.
The mother-of-one looked incredible in a black two-piece as she posed in front of a mirror before topping up her tan in the sunshine.

She also showed off her golden glow in a white bikini and cover up by Agent Provocateur while living it up with her friends ahead of her wedding to Alistair Garner in Spain in September.
The Rivals star had a very stylish wardrobe in tow, enjoying walks in a golden satin co-ord with a novelty veil on her head.
And her group of friends tucked into countless bottles of Lady A rosé and enjoyed an incredible spread of food.
She wrote: ‘The most insanely perfect few days. Pure joy from start to finish and enough @drinkladya to last us a lifetime.
‘I thoroughly recommend having a hen do even if you aren’t getting married btw. It’s the most fun you’ll ever have losing all of your belongings.’
Emily had about 20 friends with her on her hen, with the group all featuring in photos together.
A few days before, Emily shared another batch of photos and posed in her sparkly rainbow sequinned dress and veil.
Emily got engaged to scientist Alistair Garner in July 2025, after they welcomed their son Barney the previous year.
